OSU College of Osteopathic Medicine

The College of Osteopathic Medicine is one of 44 osteopathic medical schools in the
nation. Two-thirds of the graduates practice in primary care (family practice, pediatrics,
internal medicine, and obstetrics and gynecology) and one-third practice in specialty
areas such as dermatology, neurology, surgery, obstetrics, gynecology, ophthalmology,
psychiatry, anesthesiology and gastroenterology.

Why OSU College of Medicine?

Class size: We keep our class sizes small to foster an environment of personal attention and
strong relationships with faculty and staff. This allows for one-on-one learning interactions
with faculty, physician mentors and other students.

Student life: Tulsa is a great place to live, work and attend school. As a student you have the
opportunity to be involved in the many student organizations tailored to your specific
goals and hobbies.

Commitment to community: From local health fairs to an active adopt-a-school program, getting involved in
the community is part of the OSU culture.

Diversity: OSU Medicine prepares you by providing diversity training and awareness in all aspects
of academics and activities. Our students will have the skills necessary to educate
and appreciate patients from diverse backgrounds.

Graduates: From the Medical Center of Southeastern Oklahoma in Durant to Johns Hopkins in Baltimore,
our students can seek residencies across the country practicing any specialty they choose.

The D.O. Difference

A Doctor of Osteopathic Medicine (D.O.) is a fully-trained physician who can practice
in all medical specialties. Osteopathic physicians are licensed to perform surgery,
prescribe medicine and utilize manipulative treatment.Osteopathic medicine is a philosophy of caring for people, not just treating symptoms.

Extra training: Osteopathic physicians receive extra training in the musculoskeletal system which provides a better understanding
of the ways in which an injury or illness in one part of the body can affect another.

AOA Code of Ethics

to the American Osteopathic Association's Code of Ethics, adopted by the College in 2008. As student members of the osteopathic profession,
